Ferroelectricity by Bose–Einstein condensation in a quantum magnet

Magnons, quantized spin excitations in magnetic materials, may undergo Bose-Einstein condensation into a macroscopic correlated quantum state at low temperature. Here, the authors demonstrate how magnon condensation in quantum magnet TlCuCl3generates an electrical polarization.
